AN- Hello All, so this is not my first fanfic, I wrote some other ones a while ago, but that was with another person and I decided to make an account to do my own. So in a sense this is a my first, haha. I hope you guys enjoy this first chapter! :)

Forks, just a small dinky little town in the Olympic Peninsula. It rained near twenty-four seven here. I moved in with my dad Charlie, who lives in the for mentioned dinky town, about a week ago. Over the past year when I lived in Arizona I had dated a guy named James. At first he was sweet and kind, but then things changed. It started out by him just yelling at me, and calling me stupid and a good for nothing whore. Then he worked up to slapping me and pushing me around. The week before I decided to leave he pushed me into a glass table. I had to go get fifteen stitches and that was when I finally decided to call it quits. By the end of this whole ordeal, I believed what he had told me. I still think that I'm just a stupid whore. Good for nothing. I still had the scars that reminded me of the pain he had inflicted too. I hated that I didn't try to stop it sooner, I hated myself for it, but the only thing I could try to do now was to move on. No matter how hard it would be.

There was a knock on my bed room door.

"Bells?" my dad called.

"I'm all decent chief no worries" I said with a slight giggle. Charlie wasn't used to having girls in the house so for the first week he would always knock on my door and say, 'are we decent Bells?' It always made me laugh. Charlie came in the room a slight blush painting his cheeks.

"I- uhh, got your school paper work Bells" he said handing me a packet, "And I went out after work and picked up some school supplies, I wasn't sure what you liked so I just got some binders, pens and pencils that stuff, is that okay?" he asked looking a little apprehensive. I smiled.

"That's perfect Char- dad" I said still smiling. Charlie smile back before nodding and then exiting the room. I liked that about Charlie. He didn't really pry, but if you wanted to talk he would listen. I don't think that living here will be bad at all.

Next Day….

Beep! Beep!

I woke up feeling refreshed. When I realized what day it was though, I groaned, it was the first day of school. I dreaded school, I was never really good at making friends, I couldn't be less excited for anything in my whole life. I rolled out of bed and got dressed. I walked to the bathroom and brushed my hair and my teeth before walking back to my room to grab my backpack. I closed my door before I opened up my nightstand and pulled out a few packs of cigarettes and slipped them into my bag. Charlie didn't know of the bad habit I had formed and I didn't want him to find out. I closed up my bag and walked downstairs. I saw the school supplies on the table and I tossed some of it in my bag before heading towards the door. I didn't see Charlie anywhere so he must have already gone to work. Charlie was the police chief of this town. I opened the door and saw Charlie standing by a truck.

"Happy first day of school Bells" Charlie said smiling proudly.

"Is this for me?" I said totally taken aback. Charlie just nodded. I couldn't find the words, to express my joy. "This is like, wow. Thanks dad!" I said smiling. He returned it with a small laugh.

"I figured that it would be good for you to have a means of transportation to and from school" he said smiling, and handing me a set of keys.

"Thanks so much Char- dad" I said still smiling. It was a dark blue Toyota pickup truck.

"Well you better head off to school, I see you tonight" he said smiling. I nodded, and got inside and started the engine and waved to my dad as I pulled out of the driveway. It didn't take long to get to school; I had walked past it a few times when I was walking around this past week. When I got there the parking lot was practically empty except for a few cars. I parked in a spot way in the back so that no one could see me and pulled a cigarette and a book from my backpack. I lit the cigarette and opened up my book. I kept an eye on the parking lot to make sure that no one found me. I was feeling sort of stressed so I smoked cigarette after cigarette until a lot of people started to show up. That's when I got out of my car and went to the front office.

"Hello sweetie what can I do for you?" asked a frizzy red headed lady at the front desk, without even looking up from her computer.

"I-I'm Bella Swan, and I'm new here" I said. The lady looked up and smiled.

"Ahhh yes, Chief Swan's daughter" she said digging through a pile of papers. "I assume you have your schedule?" she asked.

"Uhh, yes I do" I said.

"Okay, well then here's a map, and you need to have this signed by each of your teachers" she said handing me some paper. "Have a nice day" she said.

"Thanks" I said before turning around and walking away. I pulled my schedule out of my backpack and looked it over. Let's see; first hour I have English, then I have French, then Bio, then Music Studies, then Lunch, then free period, then European History, with P.E last. I hated gym. I was so klutzy that I couldn't play without being harm to myself and others. It was so annoying. I don't know why they had to put me in gym! I looked at the map and went the way it said that the English building would be in. This place reminded me more of a collage campus on the outside than a high school. It had different buildings for everything. A language building where my English and French class would be, and then there was the science and social studies building, and the front building which held the library, the lunch room, most of the lockers and the office. And then there was the electives building which help basically everything else. I walked towards the language building still looking down at my map when I hit something. I jumped back in fear. I still wasn't comfortable with being touched. I looked up and saw a god. He had beautiful bronze hair, and golden eyes that anyone could get lost in. He was tall and lean, with muscles in just the right places.

"I-I'm sorry" I said blushing and looking down.

"It's not biggy" he said with a musical laughter.

"I'm just a little lost, do you think you could point me in the direction of the language building" I asked the Adonis looking back up. He was smiling this glorious crooked smile that made my knees go weak.

"I'm on my way there actually, we can walk together" he said. His voice was sweet like honey, and smooth like velvet. I could listen to it all day.

"Okay" I said following him as he began to walk.

"I'm Edward by the way, Edward Cullen" he said smiling.

"Hi Edward, I'm Bella, Bella Swan" I said with a smile that barley compared to his.

"Which class are you heading to?" he asked as he held the door to the language building open for me. I muttered quick thanks before answering his question.

"English. What about you?" I asked him in return.

"Same" he said with that same musical laughter. I smiled.

"Cool, that means you can help me find it" I laughed. Edward walked into a classroom and I followed. Edward went and sat down while I got a slip signed by the teacher before sitting next to him in the back of the classroom. Edward opened his mouth to say something but the bell rang and the teacher started talking. I wasn't really listening. All I could think about was Edward. His beautiful bronze hair and his golden eyes, the way his laughter made my knees go weak and his velvet voice. Everything about him was perfect.

"Bella" Edward tapped on my shoulder. I snapped out of my daze.

"Huh" I said looking at him. He laughed.

"The bell rang" he said. I felt my cheeks get hot and I knew that they must be the color of beets.

"Oh okay" I said standing up and grabbing my backpack.

"You know you're awfully cute when you blush" he said smiling. This made me blush even more.

"We better head off to class" I said.

"Okay" he said. "What do you have next hour maybe I can help you find it" he said with a smile.

"Uhh" I pulled my schedule out of my pocket and examined it. "I have French" I said. Edward walked into the hallway and I followed.

"Okay, you want to go down that hall, and then take a left it's the first door on the right. You'll know because there's a big sign that says bonjour" he said laughing.

"Thanks Edward" I said before heading off down the hall. He was so nice. I hoped that I would have other classes with him. Edward was right, the class was easy to find. French went by really quickly. When I left French I pulled out my map and looked for a way to the science building.

"Hey Bella" I heard Edward call.

"Hey Edward" I said a little bit surprised that he was waiting for me. "What are you doing here" I asked.

"Oh you know just stalking you" he said with a small laugh. I smiled a little bit. "So where are you headed" he asked.

"I'm going to Bio" I said.

"Cool me too" he said happily. I smiled. We walked together to biology and then sat in the back after I got my slip signed.

"So what brings you too Forks?" Edward asked.

"I- uhh, well I just thought it would be nice to see my dad" I said. And not be beat up, I thought to myself.

"That's cool" he said smiling as the bell rang. We didn't talk much the rest of the hour. It turns out that Edward had most classes with me except P.E and French. It was nice to have a friend in all my classes. When the bell rang after gym, I changed quickly and met Edward outside he walked me to my car. Without thinking I pulled a cigarette out of my bag and lit it when I realized who I was with. I quickly threw it on the ground and stomped it out.

"How'd that get in there" I said nonchalantly.

"It's okay Bella, just between me and you I smoke a little bit too" he said.

"Oh okay" I said smiling. And I pulled another out of my bag and offered Edward one. He took it and I lit it for him, before lighting mine. Gym had been stressful, so this really hit the spot.

"I got to go, but give me your number and I'll call you later" he said pulling out a cell phone. I told him my number and he entered it in. Then he sent me a text so that I could program his into my phone.

"By Edward" I said, putting out my cigarette and hopping in my truck before lighting another one and driving off. I had reduced my smoking down to like two and a half packs a day. It was a slow but steady course to quitting all together. I knew it was bad for me, but I just couldn't stop. I got home and didn't see the cruiser so I got out and finished my cigarette before going into the house. My phone started to ring and I saw it was Charlie.

"Hey dad" I answered.

"Hey Bells, how was school?" he asked.

"It was good I met I really nice boy named Edward Cullen" I said.

"Oh that's good. That reminds me. I got a call today, those stitches on your arms need to be removed today. You can stop by the hospital anytime, be sure to ask for doctor Cullen. And I won't be home till late tonight, so don't wait up" he said.

"Okay, thanks dad" I said.

"Alright well I got to go, I love you honey" he said.

"Love you too dad" I said before hanging up. I decided I might as well go down there now. I got in the car and drove into town, Charlie had given me a tour and I was pretty sure I remembered out to get to the hospital. It didn't take me long to find it so I parked in spot near the entrance and I walked inside and up to the front desk.

"Umm hi, I'm Bella Swan, I'm here to get my stitches removed by Dr. Cullen" I told the lady.

"Ahhh yes. Well Bella why don't you take a seat and I'll page him, he should be right down" she said with a smile. I found a seat and sat down sort of wishing that I could smoke right now.

"Bella?" I heard a surprised voice ask. I looked over to see who it was. Edward was running over towards me. "Are you okay? What happened?" he asked quickly. I laughed.

"I just have to get some stitches removed, no biggy" I said with a smile. "What are you doing here?" I asked him.

"Oh my father works here, I was just stopping in" he said, it was then that a beautiful man with blonde hair walked over and said hello.

"Hi there Bella, I'm Doctor Cullen" that when it hit me. Cullen it was Edwards's dad.

"Hi doctor Cullen" I said.

"I see you've met my son Edward" he said with a smile.

"Yes we met at school today actually" I said with a small laugh.

"Oh, so you're the Bella he told me about" he said with a laugh. "Well why don't we get these stitches out of you" he said with a smile. "Just follow me" he said. We walked to a room, and he sat me down in a chair and pulled some stuff out of a drawer. Edward sat down next to me. "Roll up your sleeve Bella" he said. I didn't move. Bruises still covered my arm, and I really didn't want Edward to see. I decide that I had to though so I pulled up my sleeve. Edward let out a small gasp and Carlisle just looked a little surprised but didn't say anything. He just quickly took out my stitches.

"Edward please leave us alone for a second" Carlisle said. Edward didn't move. "Now Edward" Carlisle said more firmly. Edward reluctantly left. "Bella what happened? Your chart said that you fell through a table, but nothing like this" he said. I shrugged and pulled my sleeve back down. "Bella you can tell me" he said.

"I-I I don't know. I'm just a klutz I guess" I said with a nervous laugh.

"You and I know that's not what caused all this" he said.

"I just, I don't know" I said looking down.

"Did your mom or Charlie do this to you?" he asked. "Because if they did you need to tell me so that the proper measures can be taken" he said. I shook my head.

"Of course they didn't" I said.

"Then who" he said.

"It was just an old boyfriend. But it was my fault. I was just so stupid all the time, I guess I deserved it. So it's really no big deal. And I left to get away from it so it's okay now" I said looking back up. Carlisle had a sad look on his face.

"This was not your fault" he said looking me in the eye.

"Well whatever, just promise not to tell anyone?" I asked. Carlisle nodded. "Thank you, can I please go now?" I asked. Carlisle nodded and followed me out of the room. Edward was there by the door.

"Bella what happened to you?" Edward asked as soon as he saw me.

"I'm just like a major klutz. I can hardly walk sometimes" I said with a laugh. I could tell Edward didn't believe me.

"You and I both know that's a lie" he said.

"It's not, I really am a klutz" I said speeding up to get to my truck.

"Fine, lie to me, but mark my words Bella I will find out" he said.

"Okay, okay, whatever you say Edward" I said lighting a cigarette.

"Bye Bella" he said as and I quickly drove away.
